Dominate NZ's toughest offshore species
The Shimano Talica 12 25 Grapper Type J B538 Jigging Combo is specially matched for serious anglers who demand uncompromising performance when targeting hard-fighting species like Kingfish, Marlin and Tuna. Perfectly balanced for intense jigging sessions, giving you the edge you need to land that next trophy fish. Get sorted with this ultimate jigging weapon, purpose-built for New Zealand's challenging waters!
The Reel
The Shimano Talica 12 Jigging Reel is built on solid engineering principles that put this reel in a league of its own. It offers a high-speed retrieve that you can use for jigging up brutal Kingfish from offshore structure where speed can make all the difference. You can also use it to target Marlin and Tuna trolling lures or pitching out a bait to a fired up pelagic.
This reel has a one-piece cold forged and machined Aluminium frame, treated with a proprietary surface process for cutting-edge corrosion protection. Shimano then added a lightweight cold forged aluminium spool, oversized HEG (High Efficiency Gearing) gear, waterproof carbon drag system and 6 S-ARB bearings for super slick operation. The Shimano Talica 12 High Speed Jigging Reel is constructed to withstand massive drag pressures and a carbon drag system has been waterproofed (when engaged) to handle salt water spray.
S A-RB
These bearings have been through the same process as the A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. That system reduces the possibility of salts or sand inhibiting the bearings rotation.
CF Aluminium Cold Forged Spool
This spool increases the strength and durability over diecast aluminium or graphite spools.
The Rod
The new Shimano 25 Grappler Type J B538 OH Jig Rod combines Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank technologies to provide the next evolutionary step in both jig control and fish fighting strength. All major performance parameters have been optimised to reduce angler fatigue, while maximising your chances of a successful encounter with even the toughest fish in the sea.
The amazing lure control offered by this exceptional jig rod is also no accident — it results from hundreds of hours of exhaustive analysis of blank action, loading and response, all aimed at putting fish-catching power in the hands of serious fishos.
Spiral X
Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's patented Spiral X construction enhances catching power for anglers. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibres as well as inner and outer layers, both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fibre sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced compression rigidity and increased torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fish fighting.
Hi-Power X
Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. This manufacturing process allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control for the angler.
CI4+
CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fibre that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies, rotors and reel seats built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
